Default Cup wheels w RDK

I have a pair of 7.5" cup wheels requiring sensors. I planned to run these on my C2, but wondering if there are any downsides of running these vs finding a pair that don't require a plug. Are sensors easy to find? Thank you.

I would sell them and find a set not requiring the plugs. They are very pricey if you can find them and no need on your C2

Or if you like the wheels and they are the correct offsets just have them welded up & balanced

Problem with welding is it destroys the temper and leaves the wheels prone to failure. I finally figured out that the chemical composition listed on the inside is a common aircraft aluminum 356.0T6 without proper heat treatment they can easily fail.

Used sensors from D90 or flat disks should be fairly easy to find as it makes no difference if they work or not and if they are 2.5 or 3.0 bar versions. There is also TechArt made alu plugs to close the holes but they are probably impossible to find.
